That looked... strange. But hey, I don't know much about Southern Mantis...

yes, the first guy is Sifu James Cama.
His skill is well known among SPM practitioners.
He is the chosen instructor for the Chinese Freemasons gym, a position once held by the Grandmaster, Lam Sang.

Yea, the first guy had some good chops, the second guy was OK, wouldn't slap him for it.
I have advice for both of them. T-shirts. Plain old T-shirts.
James Cama was interesting. The 'shuttering' in SPM is common, and normally looks like dynamic tension. His looked different.

It's not for me to judge. I am not familiar with that form.
(I do know that Sifu Cama is highly skilled and well-known for this.)
Many Sifus, when performing a public demonstration, will do sections of a form, or several forms, rather than show the entire form. They show what they choose to the public.
Until very recently, SPM was only taught to the Hakka, and even then, only to a select few. It is one of the systems that is still considered closed door.
I think it's great that it's being taught and shown more and more openly, and there are alot of interesting videos on youtube, but there is much that will probably never be shown to outsiders.

BTW SanHeChuan,
I thought it funny that you didn't recognize Lau Gar.(I believe you used to do LSW Hung-Gar in your past?) That happens to me as well. I was once judging in a tournament, and it wasn't until the guy was half way through his form that I recognized it.
It was that awful. Not the person so much, as the way he was taught to do the form. It was obvious that he spent alot of time on it. He was simply doing what he was taught, and I suppose in his school, it was considered to be very good, as he and his fellow students were extremely upset at my low score, even to the point of questioning me about it. They actually said, "He does it perfectly!"
I raised one eyebrow (in my best Sean Connery immitation) and said, "Perfectly?"
They didn't get it.
They also do a very interesting Bung-Bo.
I would pay money to have seen you sitting in the judge's seat for that one!

ahh..after reading your profile, I mistook you for someone else.'
It was the Law Clansman that threw me off.
I thought you were Sifu Albright, who's name on here used to be (or still might) Law Clansman..
Ok, rather than delete my post, I'm keeping it up, cause it's still funny.
How many others have had this same experience?
(not the mistaken identity, the discovery that you were watching someone do a form that you were very familiar with)

I wouldn't know Lau Gar if it was trying to crawl up my behind, but it must be some sort of Karate look alike or maybe since you consider it a poor perfromance it might have been influenced by karate or some such. His version of it anyway. I did some ****o long ago for a little while, and it was the first thing that came to mind when viewing that video. They had me learning short forms and when I asked how many of these forms there were, my sensei said he really didn't know. I think it might have been around a hundred or so. Maybe that is not right, but then it could be too. It didn't take me long to determine that I was not going to like it very much.
